Eid celebrated under fear of coronavirus with simplicity Islamabad May 16, 2021 Rawalpindi : The residents of twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad celebrated Eid under fear of coronavirus with simplicity. Eid prayers were held at open areas in mosques and Eidgahs following SOPs and other measures to curb the spread of Covid-19. Not only coronavirus fear but profiteers spoiled Eid celebrations because they were selling all items in skyrocketing prices in absence of special price magistrates. Similarly, taxicab and rickshaw drivers were taking full advantage on the absence of Public Service Transport (PST) on roads and looting commuters both hands. The chicken sellers were selling 1-kilogram chicken meat at Rs590, mutton sellers were selling 1-kilogram mutton at Rs1600, beef at Rs800, yogurt at Rs150 and 1-kiter milk at Rs140 on Eid days.
